The way that AMD can just not have to... So with Intel, you always had that sort of clock offset where if you run any AVX-512 code, you would suddenly decrease in your clocks, right? AMD doesn't have that. How they accomplish that, I have no idea. But you can throw in AVX-512 instructions and...

thermal and power, um, like clock speed, um, pullback, it won't have this turbo clock thing where you have, where, where if you introduce any AVX 512 instructions, even if they're just loaded store instructions. they'll decrease the CPU clock regardless. You don't have that with Zen 5 or Zen 4 for that matter.

Yeah. It's, How do I put this? So I think what Zen... And if you read the initial sort of coverage of Turin... Sorry, not of Turin, of Granite Rapids. So that's Intel's newest Xeon chip.

Yeah. It's, How do I put this? So I think what Zen... And if you read the initial sort of coverage of Turin... Sorry, not of Turin, of Granite Rapids. So that's Intel's newest Xeon chip.

They're... All the coverage was like, yeah, it's good. It competes with Genoa. But we were all briefed before this. And we were just sort of thinking, yeah, but is this actually going to compete with what's coming up next? And it's, let's put it this way. At least AMD isn't competing with itself anymore, if you get what I mean. But it's not a good competition for Intel.

Like, it's not a winning one for Intel. They can at least bid on something and not be laughed immediately out of the room, but...

And the fact that there's only two 500-watt SKUs. I actually really like that. The fact that while they are going up to that 500 watt skew, they're only really leaving it for the highest end parts. Whereas everything else is 400 or below. And I really actually respect that.

Yeah, yeah. It has... 400 watts is still a large amount of power, no doubt. But if you remember the slide that AMD showed with a seven to one consolidation. If you could do that, right? If you can go from a thousand racks of 8280s to 131 racks of- Oxide, what?

Yeah, but if you can do that reduction, even though the single SKU power has gone up, your total power savings has gone, like your total power of the data center has gone down.

Yeah, but if you can do that reduction, even though the single SKU power has gone up, your total power savings has gone, like your total power of the data center has gone down.

It was obviously a lot more focused towards the high end. Yeah. Like it was very much skewed, pun intended, towards the hyperscalers, right? Towards those people who can take that much power and just not care. But I think especially with the Turin SKU stack, I think it's a lot more sort of a refresh across the board. Yeah. Which is really good. Yeah.

Yeah, basically what AMD has said is there's these 500-watt SKUs But if you are an end user, like if you're a small-medium business and you bought, say, four Turret servers from Dell or whoever, don't just swap out the chips.
